I was looking through the spreadsheet: can someone clarify what the "Test Invite letter/ecas date" and the "Test Interview date" mean?

"Test Invite letter/ecas date" is the day you receive your test invite. I believe it also used to get updated on eCAS (pre-online invites) but not anymore it seems.
"Test Interview date" is the date you pass the test..pre-COVID times, usually on the day you passed test, afterwards you met with an officer for a sort of interview where you went through certain documents and verified things.

Want to share some news: I see many people have not received the test invitation who applied in June 2020. I got my test invitation late March and have already appeared for the test and passed it too. They will verify my score and let me know. don't know how long it will take.
Are you in the spreadsheet? I didn’t find you. If not, could you add your details, when you sent the app, AOR, in process dates, etc ?

How many of you got the test invite before the Finger Print request? Isn't it FP mandatory for everyone? Please let me know. And how many days you have waited once you have provided your fingerprint.

I was expected my wife to receive one, she received one during our PR applications and her name isn't popular but she used my last name (marriage name) on her passport when we enter Canada in 2016 and her own last name when we first enter Canada in 2012 and on her all others immigration documents. I believe they want to know that they are dealing with the same person and establish her identity properly then they can be sure that the criminality checks are done properly. I didn't receive any FP and according to my MP, I have passed criminality and security checks and I am test ready. FP isn't mandatory.

Hello,

What is the difference in doing Fingerprinting services at RCMP vs private agencies.

I mean which one is reliable and fast.

Thank you

Not sure where you are from but my wife tried to book an appointment with RCMP yesterday here in Edmonton, they are fully booked until 27 May. We are going to use an approved private agency today and according to what they told us they will forward everything by a secure email system to RCMP today. How long RCMP will take to send everything to IRCC is a different question.
